According to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic<br/>
Relations (1961), what they do in fact enjoy is the<br/>
&quot;inviolability of their premises&quot;.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Cf. &quot;Inviolability: Term referring to two notions:<br/>
one, the personal inviolability of the diplomat; two,<br/>
the inviolability of the premises of the diplomatic<br/>
mission (see Embassy). The inviolability of the person<br/>
means that the diplomat cannot be submitted to any<br/>
form of arrest or detention. The inviolability of the<br/>
premises prevents any police operation within the<br/>
mission unless the prior consent of the head of<br/>
mission has been given (see Privileges and<br/>
Immunities).&quot;<br/>

I received this from the French conservator of the<br/>
French properties<br/>
on St. Helena about their status:<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
&quot;With reference to your message, I confirm the<br/>
extra-territoriality of the French Properties on the<br/>
island...  like an embassy.<br/>
